However, in this case, the charging was done simply by hand, which was uninteresting.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points of view, and in particular, the present invention is a remotely-controlled floating body that is capable of bringing the floating body into contact engagement with a charger by remote control and charging a rechargeable battery built into the floating body. The purpose is to propose a charging structure for

(Means for Solving the Problems) As a means for solving the above problems, a remotely controlled floating body charging structure according to the present invention consists of a combination of a floating body and a charger having the following configuration. It is characterized by

(a) The inside of the floating body is filled with a gas that is lighter than air.

(b) The floating body is provided with a control unit including a propulsion unit that propels the floating body, a reception unit that receives radio signals, and a rechargeable battery that serves as a power source for each of these units.

(c) The charging connector of the rechargeable battery is formed to be exposed to the outside of the floating body, and a magnet piece is provided near the charging connector.

(The charger is provided with a supply battery for charging the rechargeable battery, a power supply connector corresponding to the charging connector, and an electromagnet corresponding to the magnetic piece.

The floating body 1 is made of a material such as synthetic paper or synthetic rubber to resemble an airship, and its interior is filled with helium gas (not shown). Furthermore, propulsion sections 4.
4 is provided.

The propulsion unit 4.4 is composed of a motor 5.5 and a propeller 6.6 fixed to the output shaft of the motor 5.5, and the motor 5.5 is connected to a machine frame arranged inside the gondola 3. The rotary member 8 is supported by the gondola 7 and is fixed to both ends of a rotating member 8 that protrudes from both sides of the gondola 3. A gear 9 is fixed to the center of the rotating member 8, and the gear 9 is meshed with one gear 10 constituting an intermediate gear, and the other gear 11 constituting the intermediate gear is connected to a motor 1.
It is meshed with a gear 13 fixed to the output shaft of No. 2. As a result, the operation of the motor 12 is controlled by remote control to rotate the rotating member 8, thereby changing the propulsion section 4.4 fixed to both ends of the rotating member 8, and changing the direction of propulsion of the floating body 1. I can do it. The motor 12 and the intermediate gear 10.11 constitute variable means for the propulsion section 4.4.

Inside the gondola 3, a control section 16 including a receiving section 15 that receives a wireless signal from the transmitting section 14 and a rechargeable battery 17 are provided, and the tip of the receiving section 15 protrudes from the rear of the gondola 3, Further, the charging connector 18 of the rechargeable battery 17 is exposed toward the front opening from the base of the light-spreading engagement recess 53a provided at the center of the lower part of the gondola 3. A magnetic piece 19 is fixed to the center of the connector 18.

Next, the charger 2 is composed of a base 21 in which the supply battery 20 is housed, an engaging part 23 and a switch part 24 supported by a support member 22 erected on the top of the base 21.
